jiya nahi laage ho
mera mna nahi laage tere bina
balam ghar aaja re ho sajan ghar aaja
ho balam ghar aaja
jiya nahi laage ho
mera mna nahi laage tere bina
balam ghar aaja re ho sajan ghar aaja
ho balam ghar aaja

chhod gayi mohe baali umariya ho
baali umariya
o chali jawani nayi dagariya ho, nayi dagariya
o hardam dar hai ho mohe hardam dar hai
mitne ka
balam ghar aaja re ho sajan ghar aaja
ho balam ghar aaja

raat raat mohe nind na aaye ho
nind na aaye
o jane kiski yaad sataye ho
yaad sataye
chhup jaye chanda ho
o haye chhup jaye chanda aankh laga
balam ghar aaja re ho sajan ghar aaja
ho balam ghar aaja

chhed chhed mohe puchhe sakhiya ho
puchhe sakhiya
kisko dhundhe teri ankhiya ho
teri ankhiya ho
kya batlau ho main kya batlau tu hi bata
balam ghar aaja re ho sajan ghar aaja
ho balam ghar aaja
jiya nahi laage ho
mera mna nahi laage tere bina
balam ghar aaja re ho sajan ghar aaja
ho balam ghar aaja

Life feels hollow, yes,
My spirit aches for you alone.
Beloved, return, oh, my love, return home,
Oh, beloved, return.
Life feels hollow, yes,
My spirit aches for you alone.
Beloved, return, oh, my love, return home,
Oh, beloved, return.

You've left behind my youthful spring, yes,
My youthful spring.
My youth departs on a new, unknown path, yes,
A new, unknown path.
I forever fear, yes,
Oh, I forever fear,
The fading away.
Beloved, return, oh, my love, return home,
Oh, beloved, return.

Night after night, no sleep descends, yes,
No sleep descends.
Whose memory haunts my soul so deep, yes,
Haunts my soul so deep?
The moon hides away, yes,
Oh, alas, the moon hides away, tears welling.
Beloved, return, oh, my love, return home,
Oh, beloved, return.

Teasing, my friends now ask, yes,
Now ask.
Whom does your gaze now seek, yes,
Your gaze now seek?
What shall I say, yes, what shall I say? You, tell me true.
Beloved, return, oh, my love, return home,
Oh, beloved, return.
Life feels hollow, yes,
My spirit aches for you alone.
Beloved, return, oh, my love, return home,
Oh, beloved, return.
